I have had my 2012 renegade 800 for about 3 months now and love it !! wish I would have gotten one years ago. Just curious what simple mods can be done to pick up any horsepower ? It is extremely fast just looking for any tweaks for the drag strip haha several friends have them and actually I outrun my cousins 2015 1000 this past weekend. Also what axles do you guys run ? I play in the mud VERY little bud did brake a Cobra axle recently and went back with factory axles. I have heard that the tuners do very little unless you supply it with more air or something.. Thanks in advance

First, I removed my clutch cover and belt and fired the bike up.. Was idling great, then shut itself off like the usual problem.. So ended up getting it running and gave it throttle to keep it running.. I kept it running until I heard that squeak sound I was talking about behind the primary.

Drained oil, no metal pieces or anything in the oil.

I removed the primary and shroud etc.. Removed my pto cover to find that my plain bearing had spun. So like What I was thinking is definitely an issue. The oil fill hole has about 1/4 of it aligned. Also to my knowledge, the oil bleeder line for the filler hole was clogged with metal pieces and cracked, I’m assuming from my last detonation. My error, for sure! For not totally inspecting that to ensure its clean and clear.

I believe the crank is ok, I don’t see any wear marks, grooves or unusual markings on it. I’m going to mic it all and make sure.

So on my purchase list is a pto cover, bearing and a gasket. Hoping that should be it for this thing.. Here’s some pics

I’m looking into getting a light bar for my renegade but there is so many choices. I don’t want anything cheap that will leak or fall apart but at the same time I really don’t want to spend hundreds of dollars for a light. What’s the best bang for my buck out there? I also plan on mounting it on top of my rad relocate so what’s the widest that I can go so it sits on top?

I have a 2013 Renegade 1000 xxc. Curious what it could be worth. It has 1750 miles on it. Im not sure of engine hours on it. Probably more than normal for that many miles, since my wife and I ride together and I always follow her on her Rancher at most times never more than 25 mph. The bike is completely stock other than Installed a Wild Boar rear rack. It has a extended factory warranty until August 2016. On its last maintenance service, all scheduled work was performed but the dealer also had to install a new headlight switch under warrenty. Its only ever had new brakes installed. Otherwise perfect running condition. I will post picks as soon as I go get it out of storage unit and wash it up. Thanks for any input

I am adding the Barker Exhaust to my 1000Xxc and was hoping to put on the EHS Air Box Lid with either a K&N or similar filter. EHS only makes the lid for the Renegade 800. I am wondering if the lid for the 800 & 1000 are the same??

So I FINALLY installed the primary from VforceJohn. Was pretty simple, but was kinda nervous about doing it. But anyway my machine has about 250-ish miles on it, and belt looked fine. I bought a new belt for the old machine, but never put it on. Its a Gates, can’t think of which one. So now that I know its not a total PITA to take cover on/off and to take belt off, should I put new one on? Save old one for a spare, or vise versa? I heard that belts can make a different in getting power to the ground, almost like a performance mod….

Hello everyone, I recently wrote my 2010 800 renegade off in the mountains and am going to replace it with another one. I was into my local dealer and looked at the 2016’s. Wow…89hp in the 1000 and 78hp in the 850. I mostly ride trails in manitoba and venture out to the rockys once or twice a year. My initial thought is get the 1000 XXC but could mod the 850 with front skid, winch, bar warmers for the same price as the 1000xxc. So the big question is the 1000 worth the extra money??
